APPENDIX 3
Outcomes for Children and Young People
with Sensory Impairment Workstream Each Local Authority has to be reported separately to NATSIP and so we have collated the authority information to identify the LAs with whom we work within the context of the outcomes collected by NATSIP. The full report is available on request. It should be noted that because of the breakdown into smaller unitary authorities the unitary authority results are not always a true reflection of the outcomes of the Service because the individual outcomes of one child (blind) can make a significant difference to the results ie a blind child planning to move on to university may have been replaced in the report by another with significant additional learning difficulties. NATSIP in recognition of this did on request provide us with an overall analysis as well and individual authority responses which will be added on to the JMG agenda.
